There is a lot you can do to support your immune system by maintaining a healthy diet with lots of fresh vegetables to provide all the vitamins and minerals needed to nourish the immune cells.  Also regular exercise, limited alcohol, reduced stress and not smoking helps keep your immune system working in top form.  However, there are times when the immune system needs an extra boost.  As we age our immune system does not work as efficiently as in our younger days.  Also stress takes its toll on the immune system, which is why at time of stress we are more susceptible to getting sick from infections.  Winter is always heralded as the start of the season for “ills and chills” and is when the common cold and even worse, the flu grips the nation.  However, this is usually due to the fact that we spend more time indoors and so it is easier to spread infection when in close proximity to others.  Once a bug has caught hold within a community then it can spread even faster.  This is when we want our immune system at it fighting best and is when we should be doing all we can to boost it.  \u003c\/p\u003e\r \u003ch4\u003eWhat is an Immunomodulator?\u003c\/h4\u003e\r \u003cp\u003eAn immunomodulator is a substance (chemical or herbal) that affects the way the immune system works either by stimulating it (immunostimulant) or suppressing it (Immunosuppressant).

These include regulating blood pressure, regulating vascular tone, which prevents blood vessels from narrowing and preventing platelet aggregation that can lead to thrombus (blood clot) formation.\u003c\/p\u003e\r \u003ch3\u003eWhat are the Ingredients of Olive Leaf 25,000?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r \u003ch4\u003eIngredients: (per vegetable capsule)\u003c\/h4\u003e\r \u003ch5\u003eHerbal extract equivalent to fresh:\u003c\/h5\u003e\r \u003cp\u003eOlea europaea (Olive) Leaf 25000mg\u003cbr\u003e\r (Equiv.

Olives are a main component of the healthy Mediterranean diet which is known for its beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system.  Olive leaves have been used as far back as Ancient Egypt as a traditional medicine and in more recent times for its cardioprotective health benefits.  Olive leaf extract contains a wide variety of pharmacological active compounds particularly the polyphenol oleuropein, which has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and lipid lowering properties.  Several studies have demonstrated that Olive leaf extract has beneficial effects on promoting increased energy by thermogenesis (burning calories to produce body heat), lipid metabolism, lowering blood pressure, improved glucose homeostasis by lowering blood sugar levels and supporting the cardiovascular system\u003csup\u003e2, 3, 4.\u003c\/sup\u003e  Many of these properties are attributed to oleuropein\u003csup\u003e5, 6.\u003c\/sup\u003e  Studies in vitro have demonstrated that oleuropein is the major component in olive leaf extract responsible for the anti-inflammatory effects of olive leaf extract\u003csup\u003e7.\u003c\/sup\u003e  Animal and in vitro studies have indicated that olive leaf extract mediates metabolic pathways that control production of inflammatory cytokines and insulin resistance indicating a role for olive leaf in regulating inflammation, which is a factor in cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.  Outcomes of a clinical trial support these findings and indicate that olive leaf extract has health benefits by improving blood pressure and insulin sensitivity due to mediating pathways involved in inflammation and lipid metabolism\u003csup\u003e8.\u003c\/sup\u003e  Olive extract rich in polyphenols was found to have powerful anti-microbial activity in vitro against several pathogenic bacteria that cause intestinal and respiratory infections9.  Polyphenols have also been shown to have immunomodulatory properties by stimulating white blood cells to proliferate and produce chemicals that are involved in the immune response\u003csup\u003e10.\u003c\/sup\u003e  The immunomodulatory effects of polyphenol olive leaf extract were studied in vitro and found to include increasing numbers of natural killer cells and T-lymphocytes, also increased production of mediators of the immune system like interferon, as well as mediators like nitric oxide that offer cardioprotection\u003csup\u003e11.\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r \u003ch3\u003eWhat are the Contraindications\/Interactions of Olive Leaf 25,000?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r \u003cp\u003eThere are no documented herb-drug interactions within the recommended dosage.
